Stories for Snuggling: Shake Dem Halloween Bones

Shake Dem Halloween Bones by W. Nikola-Lisa

Summary (from Amazon):

It’s Halloween night. The city is quiet. The city is still. But as the lights go down, the music comes up – and the guests start to arrive at the hip-hop Halloween ball! And oh, what a party it is. Told in hip-hop rhyming text, L’il Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Tom Thumb, and all of their fairy-tale friends come together for a rapping, stomping, shaking Halloween romp. Scoo-bee-doo-bee-doo-wah. Yeah!

This book is so fun! You just have to get up and shake your own Halloween bones (even our Grandpa got up and shook his bones right along with the kids after reading it)! I love that after a few readings, kids can recite the words with you! And it’s one that my kids love to pull off the shelf and “read” on their own!

"I will spend eternity knowing (my children) as adults. But tonight, right here, right now, and for the next precious years, I have the rare privilege of knowing them as a child. What a gift to experience the children in our lives as children! For a brief moment during the journey of mortality, we get to watch them laugh, learn, experience, grow."
